As for the ban evasion. I initially made "teege," but then made "noncanonical" for privacy reasons. The latter was banned, so I went bet to the original. There was no intentional ban evasion here. You can look up the ages of those accounts and verify that I'm being honest.
The rules are still pretty straight forward and apply in this situation, regardless of which of your accounts were registered first a ban on one would affect any other ones.
As for the appeals process, it is very discouraging. The notice essentially tells you that they won't even consider what you have to say.
If you feel you were undeserving of a ban, then go for it (an appeal). I've seen a few cases reversed and the cases would actually be considered, so there's a chance although not a very good one.
It all depends on what you were actually banned for, I cannot readily get much information now as your
nonaconical account was nuked.
You should also note that any post made outside your appeal thread in Meta would count as ban evasion. (
